How are we doing?
About the clinic
Minimally invasive fusion surgery at Leadheal Hospital in Seoul, South Korea, focuses on stabilizing the spine using gentle, modern techniques. The clinic is a specialized hub for neurosurgery and joint health, treating 44,000+ patients every year. This procedure is led by highly experienced specialists and holds a Grade 1 accreditation from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA).
Expert Surgical Team
Dr. Sang Won Hwang leads the neurosurgery department with over 25 years of experience in spinal care. He has performed 6,000+ spine surgeries, specializing in neuroplasty and artificial disc replacement. Dr. Jang Hyo Kim works alongside him, focusing on spinal fixation and vertebral body fusion techniques. The team also includes Dr. Sang Heon Lee, who treats complex disc herniation and spinal stenosis cases. These doctors prioritize non-surgical methods first and only recommend fusion when it is medically necessary.
Advanced Fusion Methods
The hospital uses several techniques to treat spinal instability while protecting healthy tissue. These methods help reduce recovery time and post-operative pain. Patients may receive one of the following treatments based on their diagnosis:
- Unilateral Biportal Endoscopy (UBE) for nerve decompression through small incisions.
- Percutaneous screw fixation to stabilize the vertebrae with minimal muscle disruption.
- Microscopic decompression for high-precision work under a surgical microscope.
- Posterior cervical fusion or laminoplasty for issues in the neck area.
- Vertebroplasty to strengthen weakened or fractured vertebrae.
Diagnosis and Recovery
Precision is a core part of the process at Leadheal Hospital. Before surgery, patients undergo detailed imaging, including MRI, CT, and X-ray scans. The clinic uses a Quick Care system to provide fast results and shorten the time spent in the hospital. After the procedure, the medical team provides a plan for pain management and physical therapy. This helps patients regain their mobility and return to daily activities faster. You can leave a request on Bookimed to learn more about the treatment process and travel arrangements.
